Morning Visitors

6"x8" Oil on gessoboard
$90 +s/h

This pair of Australian Rainbow Lorikeets arrive on my daughter's window ledge almost every morning for a spoonful of honey. Sometimes they get cheeky and even jump right inside!! Last time I was on holiday there, I managed to get a photo...love their beautiful colors!!

What a great painting Karen!! You've really captured them perfectly - you can feel their personalities. How lucky your daughter has them coming so close. We have a lot of these lorikeets in Perth now but they aren't native to Western Australia and they tend to bully out some of the local parrots. They are so pretty though that I have almost forgiven them!Beautiful work!Happy New Year!!!

About Me

Welcome to my blog and please enjoy!I am a painter, living in Napier, New Zealand, doing what I love! This blog is for my small Daily Paintings and drawings I have been doing since August 2011.I will post 2-3 times a week. Most are paintings of everyday subject matter, ranging from still life to flowers and landscapes. I favor simplicity over complexity in composition! Some small works will be on the Daily Paintworks Auctions.
You can contact me to purchase work that is not on auction, or buy directly from this blog or my website.
I appreciate you taking the time to visit and your comments are most welcome! You can drop me a line or follow along with me if you would like to subscribe in the box at the top.
